Update: 2021-09-06

Description

Sam and Jim invite Doris McGill into the room, and together they work on her comedy about finding your place and fitting in, tentatively titled "Baby Gay".

Join us in the room for a discussion on crafting scenes that serve the core story, establishing the engine of the show in the first scene, and creating a logline that makes readers ask for more.
